Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was an Austrian writer known for his novels, short stories, and biographies. Born in Vienna, he was part of the Viennese cultural elite and became one of the most popular writers in the world during the 1920s and 1930s. His works often explore themes of psychological insight and human emotion. Zweig's notable works include "The Royal Game," "Amok," and "Beware of Pity." He was also a prolific biographer, writing about figures like Marie Antoinette and Erasmus. Zweig fled Austria in 1934 due to the rise of Nazism, eventually settling in Brazil, where he and his wife tragically died by suicide in 1942.
